Windows 10: I would like to sign on to Windows 11 with a different email address, but I don't want to...

I would like to sign on to Windows 11 with a different email address, but I don't want to lose my existing desktop or installed apps. I have tried to change Users, but that takes me to a new, blank desktop and from there, I also can not access any of my files, pictures, data, etc., that I created with my other/previous sign in. I've looked for answers, but none show/tell how to change one's log in while maintaining the previous desktop, icons and files. Please help. Thanks SO much.

Additional email addresses

You are talking about two totally different things, contacts versus predictive text input in mail client.

In most email clients, like Windows Mail, when you start typing an address in TO, CC or BCC fields, the client does not pick the addresses suggested from your contacts. Instead, it suggests addresses you have sent email earlier, or addresses of those who have sent email to you.

If I now sent you an email, and you replied to it, next time when you write an email to someone whose address starts with K, my email address would be one of the suggested to you although I am not in your contacts.

 

old email addresses

Thank you for updating me HA.111

Here is the step to remove that old email address.

Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

Just do this step and your good to go.

Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

Hide or Show Email Address on Sign-in Screen in Windows 10  

Switched to local account.
Email address is hidden on sign in page.
As for Windows Store, I need to enter my MS account password. Just one extra step. No big deal.
